I thought the real thing was keeping Kamala from genociding Palestine? At least they're ok now since people stayed home or protest voted.

Respectfully, for the DCA incident, a military helicopter LITERALLY RAMMED INTO A JET THAT WAS 4 SECONDS FROM LANDING. There was no mechanical error.

The consensus on r/aviation is that it was the helicopter pilot's error, and it was a long time coming with the near-misses that have happened at that airport. Considering a lot of the people on that subreddit are actual pilots/military people/have access to ATC chatter, I'm gonna trust their opinions more.

I don't usually recommend going to reddit, but the r/aviation megathreads after the Jeju Air crash and then these two incidents were very informative. Plus the mods + community work very hard to keep away ignorant comments and conspiracy nuts.

So now we open into individual responsibility vs collective responsibility, the FAA and NTSB are the regulation bodies to force airlines and airports to fix these issues, but that's big government regulation

Absolutely, something some people in the r/aviation megathread were discussing as well. Quite a few of them stated they hated takeoff/landing at DCA specifically because it's probably the busiest airspace in the world, and there is always military crafts in that airspace.

The big friction seems to be that there is a big military base right on the other side of the Potomac that has a lot of VIP air traffic as well as training flights in an overlapping corridor to the commercial flights. I'm not sure how the politics interplay between the military and the FAA there, but it can't have been easy to work ATC.

Again, that sub is always very informative. Helps alleviate my fear of flying quite a bit LOL.

Actually found the thread I was reading regarding what the opinion is on the FAA's role. Quite a few angry comments in there about how it's a systemic issue.

NSFW Warning: The post that thread is on is video captured of the moment of collision. Also reddit link.

Don't kid yourself, they don't care about trans men. They see them as women and they sure as fuck don't care about women.

Huh, I would've guessed that the big concern if crashes increase would be that more people would die.

Of course, how could I forget about profits! /j

People may die, but CEO's have feelings too! How would you feel if you only earn 200mljn instead of 210. I don't get it why no one ever takes the side of big companies and always look at people suffering by these companies. Oh wait, no, that's not true, most American citizens indeed voted in favor of big companies and CEO's at the cost of the general public. Never mind then.

Doesn't matter, the government is there to make sure they can't fail.

Could you explain like I’m an idiot how the Bomardier CRJ colliding with a UH60 was the a mechanical or design fault with the Bombardier CRJ? This is an interesting and unique take that I haven’t heard before and I want you to explain it more.

Actually, losing 10m income would be bad. For me, at least, it would put me about 10m in debt.

Well in fairness, if you hurt those industry's with less travel, the people in those industries who end up out of jobs and with no money will die at greater numbers. They would be mostly outside the US though, so this administration doesn't care about that. But at the same time, if they gut the programs in the US that are peoples saftey nets, maybe it will include Americans.
